Overview
Mission
Education
What it reported doing in 2025
Held annual tree and other plant sales, which included education on caring for the trees, vegetable plants and annual and perennial plants available at the sale.
Operating model

- Other-operating. 91% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and liabilities are high compared with assets.
